The NSW Police Force has issued a warrant for Nathan Gallagher’s arrest

I ordered a powedrive v2 advanced GPS upgrade kit with the heading sensor. They charged me for that. Finally got the chance to go out to install my package and there's not heading sensor in the package. I emailed them on Aug 20th and they answered me saying they will forward it to shipping. I wait 5 days Aug 25th and no updates. So I sent another email asking for updates, nothing. So I sent another email three days later Aug 28th, again nothing. Their website said to give them at least two business days to respond to emails. This is beyond two business days.

Tldr: Paid for advanced GPS system with heading sensor included, they charged me but never sent me the heading sensor. They don't answer emails after the initial response.

I will make this a quick rundown of what happened and curious best way to approach it. I can also provide all proof and details as well.

My boat is at a marina in Maryland. I had to get some work done on the motor for a stuttering issue, as well as some smaller problems. The marina and mechanic shop are partners but two separate companies. The marina sent in my request to the mechanic shop for the work. I was charged and paid for the mechanic to do a sea trial multiple times to replicate issue and to confirm the work was done. After all the work was done and paid for, the problem continued.

Here comes the good part, after talking with some managers I finally spoke with the mechanic. He confirmed to me he never did a sea trial and it was never on the request from the marina to do the sea trial. I am now getting a new quote to get the work that actually needs to be done.

So I was charged for the mechanics to replicate the issue, they did not. I was charged for work to “fix” the problem that was never actually the problem. They never once brought the boat into the water to find the problem, but paid for it all.

Do I have a case to get in contact with a lawyer? We absolutely love the location of the marina and its amenities and don’t want to lose that. But I do want them to make it right.

Any advice would be great

Hey everyone!

Looking to add cleats to my 16ft aluminum deep v. I’ve decided to go standard vs folding but now I’m curious if 4in cleats will be good enough or if I should go 6in.

I want to minimize the “tripping hazard” but don’t want to have cleats undersized. Anyone have any experience?

Any input is very much appreciated!

What is the largest boat a woman can realistically launch and retrieve all by herself?

I think I blew my starter motor today trying to start my engine. I made a horrible mistake of running it to hot…. And an even bigger mistake than that too. I had it running great off an external fuel tank I was using to test, and it was awesome. Water ready and my plan was to wash it up and take it out today for the first time since I got it a month ago. Connected the hose back to the main fuel tank and put gas in it. Didn’t check the fuel tank …….. guy I bought it from had old gas in it and so I pumped it all in and now motor wouldn’t start. Trying to start it I overheated the starter motor I think and now need to replace that. Part number on it is 50-79472. Is there somewhere that’s more reputable than others or can I just order any. First time boat owner learning a lot. And I definitely won’t make either of these mistakes again.

Hi guys,

Have this 55hp outboard… soo many issues…

Cleaned the carbs as good as it can passively be cleaned! New fuel filter and pump. New sparks. Nothing changed…running the same as before… Also new gaskets for the carbs!

Noticed the plugs were wet AF! Engine runs like this with the choke out,hence reatricting the air. As soon as I push the choke in,it runt to crazy rpm,like full throttle. But the throttle is not open at all!

What can cause this?

Any help much appreciated!

Can anyone help me identify this component on my boat trailer. I’m working on replacing all the corroded parts and pieces and this one has me stumped.

Anchor snagged for now.

1984 Mercury tower of power 6 cylinder 4 liter 2 stroke, need corrected any tips I can't get it to start, the distributor cap was dry, made sure everything was in line timing wise I think I might be missing something.

Can I just pull one of the senders out and put a AL plug with gasket in? Am I over thinking this?

Is there a way to get this kicker to charge/maintain my battery while trolling?

There is a stinky smell in my new / used cabin cruiser. I know the water in the lines is bad and will do the bleach / water treatment but I still think the smell may linger. The waste hose may also be the issue.

Without using a GLADE type plug-in freshener to mask the sent do you have any tips how you typically keep your cabin smelling fresh?

Bravo 1.

I removed the gimbal bearing how do i get the seal?

Thanks guys

I just launched the hose connector for the flush kit across my dock and in to the water. Anybody have an idea where I might find a replacement without having to buy the entire flush kit? I asked my bff Google, but she couldn’t help me.

Hello all! I have an older Volvo penta aq231b carbureted engine. When i go wide open i am able to get the boat on plane but within about a minute i start losing RPMs and power. Any suggestions welcomed.

I have a boat docked in Alamitos Bay in Long Beach that has a termite infestation. Boat is a 38 ft powerboat. I’ve contacted several termite-control companies but haven’t received any callbacks—possibly because it’s a boat rather than a house.

Has anyone dealt with termites on a boat in the Long Beach/Los Angeles area? I’m looking for recommendations for a licensed company experienced with marine vessels, including inspection and treatment options that are safe and permitted in a marina.

If you’ve handled this before, I’d also appreciate hearing what treatment worked and whether the boat had to be hauled out or moved.

Looking to get a skiff or small center console, 16 feet seems like a sweet spot for the size as I'd rather have a true center console vs. Having the driver seat on the transom like the smaller ones have. I have a larger boat that we use for family, tubing, etc but looking for something to take the kids fishing. Boat will be stored in my backyard dock on dock blocks.

Any suggestions for brands or must have features? I'll be fishing tidal creeks, so I'll almost always be in smooth water.

I picked up a new-to-me boat and there is a Rule Bilge pump in it. It looks like is a 25SA model. It runs for a few seconds every 3-5ish minutes. Is that normal? It's wired directly to the battery.
